His 2003-2004 team will be inducted into the university’s M-Club Hall of Fame this October, along with former student-athletes, coaches and other title-holding teams.

Shaw's team that started their season 13-0, reached a number one national ranking for the first time in school history, finished the season 29-5, won the MIAA tournament and advanced to NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
